BACKGROUND
Prior studies addressing the impacts of regular physical activity or sedentary habits on the immune system have been conducted in adults and laboratory settings. Thus, it is practically unknown how a healthy active lifestyle could affect low-grade inflammation processes, infections or
OBJECTIVE
To determine the modifying effects of sex and allergy history on the association between body mass index (BMI) and asthma prevalence.
METHODS
Cross-sectional study of 86,144 Canadians who were 20 to 64 years of age in 2000-2001.
METHODS
A national survey.
METHODS
Self-reported asthma,
The prevalence of both obesity and allergic diseases in children has increased over the last several decades. However, the direct relationship between diverse allergic diseases and obesity has varied in different studies. Therefore, we aimed to examine the effect of obesity on the incidence and
Insulin resistance (IR) associated with obesity represents a well-known risk factor for chronic disease. IR development may occur to hinder stressful conditions to provide an appropriate energetic supply to non-insulin-sensitive tissues. However, conditions of stress turn out to be 'maladaptive' in
OBJECTIVE
Study intestine microflora in children with obesity and evaluate its association with allergic diseases. MATERIALS AND METHODS. 66 children with various body weight aged 3 to 17 years were included into the study. Intestine microflora study in children was carried out according to the
OBJECTIVE
Study some immunological indexes in children with allergic diseases depending on bodyweight and clinical manifestations of allergy.
METHODS
A correlation analysis of relationship of indexes of natural resistance (phagocytosis, complement), immunoglobulin level and main lymphocyte
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between weight status and asthma, allergy and respiratory symptoms in adolescents with bronchiolitis in infancy.
METHODS
At age 15-18 years, a questionnaire was sent to 96 study subjects hospitalized for wheezing at age <24 months and
The impact of obesity on the inflammatory process has been described in asthma, however little is known about the influence of diet-induced obesity on lung remodeling. For this purpose, 56 recently weaned A/J mice were randomly divided into 2 groups. In the C group, mice were fed a standard chow
OBJECTIVE
Increasing evidence suggests that overweight children are at increased risk of asthma. The association between weight gain and allergy is more complex. The aim was to evaluate the association between overweight or obesity and asthma, allergy, bronchial reactivity or atopic sensitization at
Obesity in children increases the risk for new asthma. How age, sex, race/ethnicity, and allergy status affect the relationship between obesity and asthma is unclear. This study describes the relationship between high body mass index (BMI) and incident BACKGROUND
Clinical and epidemiological studies show a close association between obesity and the risk of asthma development. The underlying cause-effect relationship between metabolism, innate and adaptive immunity, and inflammation remains to be elucidated.
METHODS
We developed an animal model to
Acanthosis nigricans (AN) is a well-known cutaneous condition that is most commonly associated with insulin resistance and obesity when present in a pediatric patient. We present a unique presentation of AN in an adolescent African American girl with a history of perennial allergic rhinitis. She
BACKGROUND
Cross-sectional and longitudinal reports show that obese adults have more asthma than non-obese adults. A proposed mechanism is via effects of adipokines (leptin and adiponectin) on the immune system.
OBJECTIVE
We wished to measure the associations of asthma and other atopic diseases with
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the prevalence of adult asthma and allergic rhinitis, and to analyze associations between smoking habit, obesity and disease in Kamishihoro town, Hokkaido.
METHODS
The Japanese edition of the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS) Questionnaire was completed by
Compared with nonbreastfed children, breastfed children tend to have a lower body mass index (BMI) at about 1 year of age. How the BMI of breastfed children develops after the first year when this difference in BMI at 1 year of age is considered is not clear. The authors studied the association
